3.2 TRAINING DELIVERY
1. The delivery of training shall adhere to the design of the curriculum and guided by the
principles of competency-based TVET.
a. Course design is based on competency standards set by the industry or recognized

industry sector; (Learning system is driven by competencies written to industry
standards)
b. Training delivery is learner-centered and should accommodate individualized and

self-paced learning strategies;
c. Training can be done on an actual workplace setting, simulation of a workplace

and/or through adoption of modern technology.
d. Assessment is based in the collection of evidence of the performance of work to the

industry required standards;
e. Assessment of competency takes the trainees knowledge and attitude into account
but requires evidence of actual performance of the competency as the primary
source of evidence.
f. Training program allows for recognition of prior learning (RPL) or current

competencies;
g. Training completion is based on satisfactory performance of all specified

competencies.
2. The competency-based TVET system recognizes various types of delivery modes, both on-
and off-the-job as long as learning is guided by the competency standards specified by the
industry. The following training modalities and its variations/components may be adopted
singly or in combination with other modalities when designing and delivering training
programs:
2.1 Institution- Based:
Dual Training System (DTS)/Dualized Training Program (DTP) which contain

both in-school and in-industry training or fieldwork components. Details can
be referred to the Implementing Rules and Regulations of the DTS Law and
the TESDA Guidelines on the DTP;
Distance learning is a formal education process in which majority of the

instruction occurs when the students and instructor are not in the same place.
Distance learning may employ correspondence study, audio, video, computer
technologies or other modern technology that can be used to facilitate
learning and formal and non-formal training. Specific guidelines on this mode
shall be issued by the TESDA Secretariat.
The traditional classroom-based or in-center instruction may be enhanced

through use of learner-centered methods as well as laboratory or field-work
components.
2.2 Enterprise-Based:
Formal Apprenticeship Training within employment involving a contract

between an apprentice and an enterprise on an approved apprenticeable
occupation.
Informal Apprenticeship - is based on a training (and working) agreement

between an apprentice and a master craftsperson wherein the agreement
may be written or oral and the master craftsperson commits to training the
apprentice in all the skills relevant to his or her trade over a significant period
of time, usually between one and four years, while the apprentice commits to
contributing productively to the work of the business. Training is integrated
into the production process and apprentices learn by working alongside the
experienced craftsperson.
Enterprise-based Training - where training is implemented within the

company in accordance with the requirements of the specific company.
Specific guidelines on this mode shall be issued by the TESDA Secretariat.
2.3 Community-Based short term programs conducted by non-government

organizations (NGOs), LGUs, training centers and other TVET providers which
are intended to address the specific needs of a community. Such programs can
be conducted in informal settings such as barangay hall, basketball courts, etc.
These programs can also be mobile training program (MTP).
3.3 TRAINEE ENTRY REQUIREMENTS
This section specifies the qualifications of trainees including their

education/experience
At least Junior High School (Grades 9 & 10) level or graduate;

Can perform basic mathematical computation; and
Able to communicate orally and in writing.
This list does not include specific institutional requirements such as written entrance exam, appropriate work
experience, and other that may be required of the trainees by the school or training center delivering TVET
program.

where gaps exist, including readiness for assessment. This document can:
a. Identify the candidates skills and knowledge

b. Highlight gaps in candidates skills and knowledge
c. Provide critical guidance to the assessor and candidate on the evidence that
need to be presented
d. Assist the candidate to identify key areas in which practice is needed or
